Built bat houses in my back yard when west nile was out in full force. Bats are extremely important to our environment. Besides, ever since the bat houses went up, I hardly ever get mosquito bites sitting in the back yard.
I've been involved one way or another with BCI since I was 10. During that time I've seen the general public's attitude change from one of misinterpretation and fear to inquisitive and understanding. That's a major accomplishment that will allow BCI to make huge strides forward in conserving these vital contributors to the worlds ecosystems!
Keep up the good work BatCon!
Help me donate to Batcon for my birthday! my goal is to raise $50 :)

The Little Copenhagen Mermaid.
When I was young and Santa old
And children did as they were told
I’d gaze at fish a-cycling along the Milky Way
Behind them pigs would loop the loop
As scented breezes cooled my soup
And elephants, both white and pink, a-whistling would play;
In rhubarb trees they’d build their nests,
As politicians combed their crests
While working for ‘The Populus’ throughout the live-long day.
Now Candy mountains, butter too,
Have dropped us in the Irish stew
And wine lakes, shining shore to shore, tempt us to sail away
From truth, responsibility,
And wise but dull maturity,
Straight to the sirens call are we drawn closer every day.
In pea-green boats upon a lake
of lucozade our thirst we slake
while breathing clouds of candy-floss the golden geese will lay
then we will gorge on golden eggs
as we bestride the world on legs
made out of malted-whisky kegs we flew down from Strathspey.
And foaming ‘champers’ at the mouth
We’ll strip the world from north to south
And calling Truth a blabbermouth, we’ll sing, “Calloo, Callay.”
And then the dreaded Jabberwock,
we’ll meet before we’ve taken stock
that nothing is there left to hock to pay the pipes to play
and nonsense will the last word be
at parties where the mushroom tea
is brewed by madder hats than we. Let’s desperately pray!
